If more Chinamen spent time at the knife range then these thugs would think twice before picking up a blade. I personally spend several hours a day perfecting my knifery skills to protect my family, liberty, and property.

On my body I carry a dagger, a concealed cleaver, and at least two paring knifes at all times and I will NOT hesitate to execute my CONSTITUTIONAL right to stab you in the face.

Knives don't kill people--people kill people. And if you outlaw knives only outlaws will have knives. You can have my knife when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. A populace armed with knives is our best defense against..um....everything.

We as a society have a national obsession with knives. We even have entire networks such as the Food Network dedicated to knives that young, impressionable minds can watch at any time with no parental supervision. The knife culture glorifies the likes of Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasse, and Gordon Ramsay who use these huge, unnecessary knives in their food preparation. Emiril's catchphrase of "Bam" is a direct invitation of kids to season their target before chopping it up.

We can't go on with this knife worship. Knives larger than 5" need to be banned, as a start. A true chef would not need a knife any larger. Any other knives need to be registered with the appropriate authorities, and then only after taking a class and placing them in a locked kitchen drawer away from any sharpeners. Butter knives need to have Rachel Ray orange handles so as to not be mistaken by law enforcement for real knives.

By taking these first reasonable steps perhaps we can turn this ultra violent society around. After all, you don't hear about people stabbing each other in Europe, do you? The second amendment did not specify which arms we could bear and then only referred to those knives used by militias. This violent behavior needs to stop and sensible knife regulations are the first step.

BronyMedic:You do realize that engaging someone with a knife, and disarming them without getting seriously hurt in the process is a little harder than Chuck Norris movies make it look, right?

Oh hell yeah. I also know that a classroom full of children need to be protected. If you read the article I posted you'll see that this isn't the first time this has happened. They need a few people on staff that can challenge these attackers. 3 or 4 well trained people can take out one person with a knife.

I was a little snarky about the way I posted that. I just find it funny that in the birth place of so many styles of unarmed combat a person with a knife can attack so many people.

/understands the first principle of knife fighting, you gonna get cut.

A balanced approach to gun control in the United States would require the warring sides to agree on several contentious issues. Conservative gun-rights advocates should acknowledge that if more states had stringent universal background checks-or if a federal law put these in place-more guns would be kept out of the hands of criminals and the dangerously mentally unstable. They should also acknowledge that requiring background checks on buyers at gun shows would not represent a threat to the Constitution. "The NRA position on this is a fiction," says Dan Gross, the head of the Brady Campaign. "Universal background checks are not an infringement on our Second Amendment rights. This is black-helicopter stuff." Gross believes that closing the gun-show loophole would be both extremely effective and a politically moderate and achievable goal. The gun lobby must also agree that concealed-carry permits should be granted only to people who pass rigorous criminal checks, as well as thorough training-and-safety courses.

Anti-gun advocates, meanwhile, should acknowledge that gun-control legislation is not the only answer to gun violence. Responsible gun ownership is also an answer. An enormous number of Americans believe this to be the case, and gun-control advocates do themselves no favors when they demonize gun owners, and advocates of armed self-defense, as backwoods barbarians. Liberals sometimes make the mistake of anthropomorphizing guns, ascribing to them moral characteristics they do not possess. Guns can be used to do evil, but guns can also be used to do good. Twelve years ago, in the aftermath of Matthew Shepard's murder, Jonathan Rauch launched a national movement when he wrote an article for Salon arguing that gay people should arm themselves against violent bigots. Pink Pistol clubs sprang up across America, in which gays and lesbians learn to use firearms in self-defense. Other vulnerable groups have also taken to the idea of concealed carry: in Texas, African American women represent the largest percentage increase of concealed-carry permit seekers since 2000.

I will not give in to the Ginsu Grabbers.

Knives are only made for one purpose, cutting. You can pretend they are just for cooking or box opening or whatever but we all know that their main purpose is to be dangerous weapons. We need a knife registry and a ban on assault knives.

A number of measures were introduced at the time, including increased security at schools across the country and a regulation requiring people to register with their national ID cards when buying large knives.

TotallyHeadless:We really need to start talking about mental health in this country. Enough about weapon control. We have to limit the conditions that make so many young men go off the handle.

This. Every company that I've worked for provided free drugs and alcohol programs, you also kept your job, they filled in with a temp until you "got better". If you were mentally ill? $25 per session, capped after a certain number of visits, and good luck keeping your job while you worked through your problems.

Is this the thread where we ignore the elephant in our room by pointing and laughing at the squirrel in the other guy's room?Ha Ha! Look how small the sh*t is in his room compared to the mountainous turds in ours! LOSER!
